Hu Miaomiao sighed that they had rushed in too hastily and had not asked the people waiting in the tree by the main gate why there was no one guarding it. If they had known, they wouldn't have been so terrified...
Since Master Lian was unharmed, His Majesty was reassured, and so were they. All that was left was to follow orders.
Hu Miaomiao reinstated her trademark smile, though there were still some details she couldn't figure out, she understood enough—the intervention was real, and someone really had dodged the situation. As for why this scenario unfolded, she believed the clarity would come soon.
On the Emperor's end, he too had heard the laughter inside and gradually recovered from his initial emotions, his smile expanding and his eyes brimming with mirth.
Knowing everyone was safe was a relief.
Heaven had eyes, it was truly wonderful.
The panic he had felt just moments ago was known only to him; it was genuinely heart-stopping and took quite a while to calm down.
